(make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

"It was that very concept of equal opportunity which had given young Andrew Carnegie the sense that he could outstrip his humble origins, and that formed the basis of his eternal gratitude for the "land of opportunity" that allowed him his meteoric rise. So while Carnegie could be ruthless in his pursuit of material success, he could be equally passionate in his defense of justice for the common man."

I am constantly surprised that people who made it from nothing, seem to forget where they come from. It sounds like Carnegie didn't. Although in this era, the discrepancy between the wealthy and poor was nearly as great as it would ever be. (Only surpassed by 1929, and today.)
